Pull Me Down
Night Riots Lyrics

Look at the moon
Directing the listener's attention to the moon in the sky.

Pooling light on the water
Describing how the moonlight is reflected on the water.

Trace the silver
Inviting the listener to see and observe the shining silver color of the moonlight.

That blooms in a flood
Comparing the amount of moonlight falling on the water to a flood that is flowing over the water, emphasizing its extent.

You are pale
Addressing someone and describing their appearance as being pale.

And white as you shudder
Linking the listener's paleness to a physical response, such as shuddering, to imply fear or worry.

Nightingales singing out through the sleeping streets
Drawing attention to the sound of the singing Nightingales.

I wanna glow From the light that you give me
Expressing a desire to feel good and shine from the inner light of someone else's presence.

I wish I knew That you felt the same
Hoping that the other person feels the same way, but not knowing for certain.

Pull me down where I belong
Requesting support and guidance from the other person.

And I wonder, if you ever leave
Expressing a concern about being left alone and abandoned by the other person.

Would the summer turn into a dream
Contemplating the possible consequences of the other person leaving and how it would affect one's perception of reality.

Will you pull me down where I belong
Repeating the appeal for support and comfort from the other person.

Look at the stars
Shifting the focus from the moon to the stars.

Always shining above us
Describing how the stars are always present and visible in the night sky.

Steam of your breath
Observing the visible mist formed by the exhaled breath of the other person.

Come in close as the seasons change
Asking the other person to draw near during a changing time, possibly suggesting that the person needs more support during a period of transition.

You are cold
Describing the physical sensation of being cold while with the other person as an example of their emotional distance.

To the touch as a lover
Comparing the physical distance between the two people to that of a love relationship that is emotionally distant as well.

So we drive under blue light through the streets
Transporting the listener into a visual image of driving through the night streets under the blue hue of a street lamp.

Under the moon
Restating the presence and influence of the moon in the setting.

Stay close to me tonight
Requesting physical closeness and support from the other person during the night.

Cause I could just float away
Expressing the fear of being alone and unsupported, possibly leading to high anxiety or mental weakness.

I could just float away
Repeating the previous statement to reinforce the idea of anxiety and weakness in one's own being.
